Regulations came into force on Saturday 6th April that will enabled six major libraries to collect, preserve and provide long term access to the nation's growing cultural and intellectual output that appears in digital form -- including blogs, e-books and the entire UK web domain.

The British Library at St Pancras held a celebratory event to mark the occasion with a final countdown to the regulations going live in front of an invited audience of webmasters, publishers and technology gurus, with a spectacular big-screen light-show and 'virtual ribbon cutting' on this new era of the Library's history.
